Unhappy Damaged Swingarm

I need help with ideas or part numbers, so upset that I cant think straignt.

I was trying to install the True-Track Tracula kit which calls for pressing out the Spherical bearings, deburring and installing the True-Pivot by pressing. I was attempting to press out the original bearings and instead of the bearing moving the ear of the swingarm bent in. I believe it will require replaceing due to alignment issues with transmisson and rear wheel.

Does anyone have a part number and idea of price?

Picture attached.

2007 FLHT

You can find take-offs on ebay, I found 2 at least there might be more, ebay # 150557450903 & 130460577753.

Closer inspection shows that I was pressing the Spherical bearing in the wrong direction. I know, measure twice, cut onec, read instructions, leave it to a professional. Trying to work on my own bike and it is becoming an expensive learning experience.

I dont know if swingarms can be reworked or if it is strictly a replacement item. Any help would be appreciated. I already feel bad enough as is.

Take-offs are too cheap to worry about reworking one. Grab one off ebay.

Don't let this get to you.
We all do bonehead **** sooner or later.

DTTJ already posted you a couple he found on eBay.
Pick one up and continue with the project.
I don't think I'd chance straightening that part.

Excellent guys, you all are a god send. You are right about ebay, to paniced to think about it.

What years would fit the 2007 model? and I would guess any FLH would work, am I correct in that.

Again, think you. Simple answer that I couldnt put together with this state of mind.

Pretty sure it's 2002-2008, all touring you can tell the difference by looking, the first one I listed is $10 plus shipping on auction, the second is $50 buy it now, depends on if you are in a hurry.

If this is a 1" axle swingarm it will work.
The part number he needs:
47549-02
02 denotes the year it goes back to, so your '03 will work.

DTTJ is correct.
That part is for model years '02 to '08
It changed in '09 due to the wider wheels/tires.
